Wow, well they have different strengths with .1% being the highest. I, of course, used that one. It took about two weeks of continuous use for my face to fall off but it sure did. In between it falling off, I was glowing like crazy. I just don't think I want to use it again because the flaking and redness were a bit much.

I still have a few tubes here..

I missed that one. However, when I tried Retin A, it didn't work at all. Maybe I got a bad batch? I tried it about two years ago after I coaxed my doctor into prescribing the cream for me. But it didn't burn or flake or anything so I just stopped using it.

Thanks for r/r/c

The hidden other exfoliator (Reply to this comment)

Yep we gotta get rid of dead skin cells. One thing most people overlook and rarely use is Retin A. That stuff is amazing (but you need an RX or have to get it online through a Canadian or Mexican pharmacy).

I tried it last year and, after my face fell off from flaking and losing a whole layer of skin, I glowed like I never glowed before. It really does wonders. But it is also very harsh and isn't for everyone.

Those with sun damage though could look years younger using it if they can get their hands on it. (I, of course, know where to get it because I am the anti aging cream expert since I probably spent enough to have a full face lift and a tummy tuck on the stuff!).

Good info and something we all should think about before wrinkles creep up.
